The SkyBox cards have the following notice, so {je} can join nouns
marked with a type-5 suffix:
{Paramount Pictures malja' permey bIH Star Trek pong'e' Deghmey'e' je}

But note that the {je} here is joining two nouns with the same suffix.

Or maybe you can join certain pairs when it makes sense, like {-vo'}
and {-Daq}, and even then it's seen as a slight bending of the rules.
Most of the time, sticking a {je} on {Xvo' YDaq} would only change the
emphasis and not the meaning, "it went from A and to B" vs. "it went
from A to B".
